Delete key is now a special utf charcter displayed as  or \utf(007F). Make lastKey be "Delete"

This also goes for the arrow keys, enter key, tab, and so on on OS X. Is that out of scope for the project? I imagine you'd want some sort of Map[String, String] for all the special characters, or handle all the special cases by their keycode.

The root cause is Java special handling on OS X to make ⌘ et al display correctly, so I imagine you could extract the lookup table from that.
